You have Moses Lall listed as Hispanic because he is from Guyana in South America. That’s not necessarily accurate. My family is from Guyana, but are Afro-Guyanese, meaning we are Black Guyanese or Guyanese of African descent. Moses Lall is Indo-Guyanese meaning he is Guyanese Indian or Guyanese of Indian descent. To imply that he is Hispanic also means that he is from Hispaniola-either Haiti or the Dominican Republic. If anything a better way to refer to a person from any country in the Caribbean or Caribbean basin is by the colloquial terms of Caribbean or West Indian.

I did not know any of this, it is very interesting. Deniese Hiraman is listed as Asian and she is Guyanese, is that correct?
Would Walter Ackinson count?

No. She too should be listed as either Indo-Guyanese or Guyanese Indian.
Wow, Nicky Barclay had a rough life. Poor kid.
